Food Allergies Treatment

Question by the_girl_collector: Has anyone found that they develop a migrane shortly after eating Subway sanwhiches?
I have heard a rumour that Subway doesn’t use natural flower but something else. I have been suffering terribly from migranes and trying to get to the dietary source of the problem. At first, I thought it might be the nitrates in sandwhich meats, but have found that I still get migranes if eating tunafish from Subway. So I am thinking I might have a “wheat” allergy.

Now you might ask, why do I eat as Subway if I get migranes? Because I noticed the pattern and am now trying to settle on the source. I get migranes outside of eating as Subway, also when eating meats and bread… anyway, any thoughts?
Yes, I am aware it is “flour” not flower, but I was typing quickly. Thanks for the responses so far. As for the taco bell comment, if you do the research you will find that they create their own flour for their bread, in order for it to have a certain consistency of size, texture etc…

Glutten is somthing to consider.

I sure hope Subway doesn’t use ANY “flower” in their subs.

If I got a migraine after eating, I would keep a journal and write down EVERYTHING that I had eaten prior to the onset of the migraine. After a month, I would find the common denominators and start narrowing it down like that.

Question by phil8656: Do food allergies start suddenly? Or do they have to start from birth?
I keep developing more and more food allergies. First I became lactose intolerant. Then couldn’t eat peanut butter or sunflower seeds. Now it seems I have suddenly become gluten (wheat) sensitive. And that last one came on suddenly after a lifetime of eating, and baking, whole grain bread. Has anybody else had a food allergy start late in life without warning?
Thanks to all.

Question by jojoizz: Can skin prick testing for food allergies give a false positive result or are they reliable?
My 9 and a half month old daughter had a positive result for cows milk, however, I only gave her a little yogurt once after her eczema appeared. My gut tells me that it wasnt the cows milk product that caused it. Shes currently having soy products. Are the allergy tests pretty reliable?
I should add that she was on cows milk based formula until 6 months of age when her eczema appeared and the rash is only on her legs.

when i got my skin prick testing done, i was told that it was very realiable. they thought i was allergic to nuts, and when they completed my test it came back negative. and my mother asked the same thing, “is it realiable” and they said absolutly. it is a very slim chance that it was a false reading.

if you really want to be sure, talk to your child’s pediatrician and see what he says.

Question by Henrys Mummy: Mums will u be moving ur LO on 2 cows milk when they turn 12 months?
I have read that you shouldnt move babies on to cows milk until they are 24months!! Apparently cows milk if introduced early can cause allergies and other illnesses.
I know sma progress can be given up to 24m.
My LO will 12m in 10weeks. I know most mums change to cows milk at 12m because it is obviously a lot cheaper.

Just wandering what other mums plans are?

I tried cow’s milk at 12 months and it makes her so constipated!!! Now I just give her calcium and vitamin D through other sources, but I continue to give her breastmilk and water. I’ll probably try cow’s milk again when she’s 18 months or so. I think this is pretty common when switching to cow’s milk.
